remember joe dimaggio? that hall of fame -- was it hall of shame? yankee? guy who got shut down not a single hit in the 57th game after getting a base hit in 56 consecutive contests. how about michael jordan the 50-year-old now aarp member m.j. who didn't even start in the 2003 all-star game. what was that joker ted williams not batting again over .400 after 41? maybe it was like the -- all of these bums and losers came to mind today when i saw the air going off this market with the dow off 108 points falling flat on its face, not to mention the s&p down the worst of the year, and the nasdaq nose diving 1.3%. you would think the averages could keep going higher and higher after seven straight weeks in the black, right? no, this session lays a loser of an egg. strip it of the lombardi trophy and check to see if it stopped doping, or at least got off the adderall. yeah, welcome to the world where one down day brings out the n naysayers. i could not believe how many times people hit me up all afternoon. to pronounce the market dead or at least ask me. come on,
